Using this patio sofa is super easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot and start enjoying its comfort. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the weather. If there's a big storm coming, it's a good idea to cover the sofa to protect it from extreme weather conditions. For regular cleaning, wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth or use a hose. You can also take off the cushion covers (thanks to the zipper design) and wash them as needed. When assembling, follow the clear instructions provided and use the included tools. Make sure all parts are properly connected for a stable sofa.
